Mima Doucet continues to pile on the postseason awards as the sophomore has been named to the NJCAA All-American first-team, the association announced Wednesday. It’s the second All-American recognition for Doucet this year.
Doucet was named to the NFCA NJCAA Division II First-Team earlier this month alongside teammate Madison Monson. The Lafayette native was one of 39 recipients to be honored by the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA).

After one of the most dominating single seasons on the mound in LSU Eunice history, Zach Hester has earned All-American honors. Hester was given first-team honors by the NJCAA, the association announced on Monday.
The sophomore is the tenth Bengal to earn a first-team nomination and just the second pitcher, joining LSU Eunice Hall of Fame member Kenny Plaisance. Hester joins the 18 other former Bengals to be named a NJCAA All-American and first since Nick Coomes and Zach LaFleur in 2016.

With the excitement of capturing the program's sixth NJCAA National Championship still fresh in their minds, several LSU Eunice baseball players are back in action in summer collegiate leagues throughout the country.
Incoming, current and outgoing LSU Eunice players are spread out over eight different summer leagues.
Many of those organizations use wooden bats instead of aluminum for gameplay.

The build-up towards the start of the LSU Eunice soccer programs continues with the release of their fall schedules.
The men's team will have a 12-game schedule while the women's squad is scheduled for a 14-game slate.
Both Bengal squads will play in a total of 11 doubleheaders, including a pair of exhibitions.
LSUE will head to LSU Alexandria to open the season in an Aug. 11 doubleheader set for 3 p.m.
In addition to joint exhibitions at East Texas Baptist University on Aug.21, the men's team will host Louisiana College in an Aug. 18 tune-up.

LSU Eunice standouts Mima Doucet and Madison Monson have been named first-team All-Americans for NJCAA Division II by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association.
The infielders were two of the thirty-two student athletes from 17 different institutions to garner the All-American accolades.
“I can’t think of two more deserved players for the award than Mima and Madison,” LSU Eunice head coach Andy Lee said. “They were so important to our success and put in so much work both on and off the field.”
